Wheelchair in an RV?
I've located some narrow wheelchairs on line that may work in my fifth wheel. Are any of you using one? Any advice appreciated.

Actually. I'll have assistance getting in. I'm not driving yet so a friend will be able to help. Yes, it's a bit awkward but I'll still be getting therapy and hopefully will be more mobile soon.
That's good news. If I'm assuming right your fifth wheel has slide outs which should give you plenty of room to move around. You may want to have someone install grab bars in the bathroom to make it easier for you.
If you think that you won't be using a wheelchair very much in the future you might be able to find a used one on craigslist. A folding one will fit in any doorway and can be easily loaded into your truck or a car. I have a rigid frame chair because I put it through a lot of abuse but a folding one is fine for light duty.
